10. Fling Out the Banner

1 Fling out the banner! let it float
Skyward and seaward, high and wide;
The sun that lights its shining folds,
The cross, on which the Savior died.

Refrain:
O fling out the banner! fling out the banner!
Skyward and seaward, high and wide;
Our glory only in the cross,
Our only hope the Crucified.

2 Fling out the banner! heathen lands
Shall see from far the glorious sight,
And nations crowding to be born,
Baptize their spirits in its light. [Refrain]

3 Fling out the banner! sin-sick souls
That sink and perish in the strife,
Shall touch in faith its radiant hem,
And spring immortal into life. [Refrain]

4 Fling out the banner! wide and high,
Seaward and skyward, let it shine;
Nor skill, nor might, nor merit ours;
We conquer only in that sign. [Refrain]
